I’m Lori Steeves, Founder and Creative Director of Simply Home Decorating, a boutique Interior Design Firm based in North Vancouver, British Columbia. My passion is uncovering hidden potential, transforming clients’ homes into refined, collected and enduring spaces that they love. I believe in the magic of GREAT design, the beauty and ease that comes from every detail being carefully considered, and I strive to bring that to every project. Having moved many times over the years, I appreciate all that it takes to make a home. I’ve honed a creative process that starts with listening — hearing what you want, understanding what you need and using what I discover to create the perfect backdrop for your life. I understand that you can’t always keep food out of the family room and your dog off the sofa - because I live this reality daily - and that’s why we specialize in decorating and renovating liveable family friendly & pet friendly homes where you will be proud to host your family and friends. Having completed 11 personal home renovation projects in the past 20 years I have a heightened appreciation of what my clients’ are going through and I think that makes me a better, more sensitive designer.

They were fantastic to work with. At the front end, they took time to talk with us about our needs and to figure out the style that would work well with us and our spaces. Their selections were outstanding, their communication and processes was always very clear and we couldn’t be happier with the result. Going forward, we wouldn’t use anyone else and are always quick to recommend them others. **★★★★★ — louisecarreau, March 2026** > We have had the pleasure of working with Lori four different times across three different homes, and each experience has been exceptional. > > She has consistently demonstrated an uncanny ability to understand us as clients, work with the existing and then adding her expertise to end up with results that have given us happiness and pride to live in. > > Adding to the above are Lori’s eye for timeless design and access to the quality of product to fulfill her vision. We still have furniture that she recommended/provided over 20 years ago, that looks just as beautiful and relevant today as it did when it first > arrived. > > This time, her task was to redecorate our formal living room — the focal point of our home since it’s the first space you see upon entering. Once again, she very much succeeded - transforming the room into a stunning, functional and welcoming space that perfectly reflects us. We are thrilled! > > All of this combined with Taryn’s excellent support, we received “White glove” service from the very beginning of the project to its completion. > > Louise & Rob **Comment from Simply Home Decorating:** > Thank you so very much for your kind words Louise! It is always a pleasure working with you and I'm so pleased that we were able to complete this project for you from afar. **★★★★★ — brigus12, July 2025** > Our family has just completed a major home renovation with Lori and the Simply Home team. We cannot say enough about how right this decision was. At first we debated did we even need an interior designer but after our first introductory meeting with Lori we felt completely comfortable with going forward as she provided a sense of comfort and true excitement with the project and our image of how we wanted things to look. > Lori respected our requests but she provided so many suggestions that we never would have thought about ourselves. We wanted a finished project that would also age over time so we did not need to do this again and looking at our home now we feel that she has fully accomplished that. There is a beautiful mix of things that were important for us to keep but new ideas that I never would have thought of. > It is expensive to have a designer but the team did pay attention to our budget and overall we think the cost was well worth it. > When we walk into our home now it truly feels like a new home that we are excited to enter, still the cozy and lived in home that we have always had but so much brighter and there is a beautiful flow now between each room. > We loved working with the whole team, they were totally professional in every way and receptive of all our questions, worries and project concerns as they arose. > Of note this project was also a distance project from coast to coast within Canada and despite the geographic difficulties of this we did not feel it was an impediment by any means. > Cannot recommend enough and so happy with our decision!! **★★★★★ — kywoodtone, June 2025** > Lori, Taryn and the team have been amazing to work with. We’ve completed 3 major projects so far with their guidance and we couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend using their talents and we’ll be working them on our future projects. **★★★★★ — Hillary Bullock, Dec. 2024** > I had such a wonderful experience with Lori and her team. > > Lori stopped at nothing to ensure my apartment was decorated and minor renovations were done to my full satisfaction. She personally ensures every detail is perfect all the way until the very end. Her professionalism was inspiring and unlike any service provider I’ve worked with. > > Lori’s knowledge of design, her vision, and her connections with providers is remarkable. She was able to articulate thoughtful ideas + make creative and beautiful suggestions—then make everything come together drawing on the talented artisans and vendors she works with. > > I’m beyond pleased with the result. I didn’t know I could feel so content, comfortable, and at peace in my home. It looks beautiful but most importantly, it feels like “me.” Somehow Lori was able to make this all happen. > > Above all, I felt Lori took my project to heart and truly cared. You can tell by how my place looks now. > > I’m so lucky to have worked with her and can’t recommend her enough. **Comment from Simply Home Decorating:** > Thank you so much Hillary. It was truly a pleasure to work with you. I'm so pleased that you love your "new" spaces. **★★★★★ — Chris + Paula, Nov. 2024** > I wish I could provide Lori and her team ten stars instead of five. We had an excellent experience through this process. Lori took our ideas/style and made our wish list happen. We were so impressed with her professionalism, knowledge (design, products, cost, and availability) and her Trades. Every person that works for Lori has been hand picked. She only has Trades that take pride in their jobs and strive for the best quality of workmanship. Our job was completed ahead of schedule, and we were very pleased it was under budget. This was an enjoyable process with a beautiful result. I would recommend Lori at Simply Home Decorating. **★★★★★ — oigetit, Oct. 2024** > Terrific job on this Vancouver kitchen! Every feature is so carefully thought out and executed! Having struggled with a galley kitchen's limited space for years I really appreciate the amazing transformation that took place here! **★★★★★ — Katherine C., Aug. 2024** > Simply Home Decorating recently helped us with a decorating/furnishing project in our open concept living room, dining room, entry, and we couldn’t be happier. > > We’ve worked with four different interior designers over the years in various locations, and while we were happy with the end results of each project, Simply Home Decorating was by far the best that we’ve worked with. Lori and her team focus as much on the end-to-end design process and client relationship as they do on the end result, and that’s what truly sets them apart. > > There were three main areas that impressed us: > > Proactive communication. Taryn oversees a lot of the day-to-day communication for Simply Home Decorating, and she is amazing. She was organized, thorough, and sent us regular check-ins even during the waiting period of the process. We knew what was happening every step of the way, and it gave us peace of mind to know that SHD was on top of everything. Lori and Taryn were also quick to respond to any questions or concerns that we had along the way. > > Design for real life. Unlike designers who are focused on the current trends or their social media presence, Lori and her team put their clients at the center. They are geniuses at interpreting likes, dislikes, and overall design aesthetic (even if you cannot articulate it yourself) and making it a reality. SHD also understands how important functionality is in a space and makes sure to factor in things like pets, hobbies, and lifestyle in the design recommendations. > > With you every step of the way. We’ve been through enough renovation and decorating projects to know that things rarely (if ever) go 100% as planned. What really impressed us about Lori and her team was that we felt like they were in our corner the entire time and helped us navigate these unexpected bumps and challenges. In our project, we had a “lemon” of a sectional sofa that resulted in multiple repair and replacement attempts spanning a year. I’m sure the manufacturer would have written us off as customers after the second replacement, but Lori and the team negotiated and fought on our behalf until we found a solution. > > We’re currently saving money for our next decorating project, but will definitely be calling Lori and the Simply Home Decorating team when the time comes. We couldn’t recommend them enough! **Comment from Simply Home Decorating:** > Thank you so much Katherine for your detailed review and your kind words. We sincerely appreciated your patience with what was one of our most challenging resolutions to date. We are so pleased that we were able to take you across the finish line - even if it did take a year! Thanks for hanging in there and trusting us. We look forward to our next project together. **★★★★★ — Murray Campbell, April 2024** > Lori and her team completed my multi-step downsizing project in a seamless and professional manner. They looked after all the details (movers, packers, storage, trades, etc.), and all I had to do was give them guidance on a number of high level design matters. It was exactly the assistance I was looking for, and I highly recommend Lori and her team to anyone needing help with a complicated relocation and redecoration project. **Comment from Simply Home Decorating:** > Thank you for your review Murray. We really enjoyed working with you and are enthusiastic to work with you on the final phase of your project! **★★★★★ — Steven, Oct. 2023** > I can't say enough about how great the experience of working with Lori and the team has been. It almost feels awkward telling friends about our renovation experience and how great it was knowing that almost everyone else's experiences have come with frustrations and missed expectations. We are ecstatic with the results! **Comment from Simply Home Decorating:** > Thanks Steven. We enjoyed working with you guys SO MUCH! I only wish you had a "next project" for us to work on. Maybe one day... **★★★★★ — JC, Aug. 2023** > Lori and team provided full project management for a cross country move for us: from Ontario to a new Vancouver apartment. This included full interior design, trades' management, contents purchases (linens to furniture), set up and support. The team even met our moving truck! Lori's design sense on all measures kept 'place' in mind, as well as balanced form and function ~ we are thrilled with the outcome. Lori quickly understood our needs; offered tailored options and was confident in providing her opinions when an element was important for the overall aesthetic. We salute her team and the exemplary service they provided. Our project was on time and on budget. > Thankyou Lori and team - you were wonderful to work with. > J and H **Comment from Simply Home Decorating:** > It was such a pleasure setting you up in your new Vancouver home. We hope that you will enjoy it for years to come! **★★★★★ — Wespac Electrical Contractors Ltd., May 2023** > We have been working with Simply Home Decorating for over 5 years now, and it has been a seamless and enjoyable experience. Lori and her team prioritize effective communication and provide clear instructions and timelines for each project. They understand the importance of coordination between trades, ensuring that everything runs smoothly and efficiently for their clients. > > Lori and her team go above and beyond to ensure that all parties involved have the necessary support and resources throughout the project. They have consistently delivered outstanding results, exceeding their clients' expectations on every occasion. Their emphasis on maintaining high standards is reflected in the final outcome of each project, leaving clients satisfied and proud of their newly designed spaces. > > We look forward to each and every call we receive from Simply Home Decorating! > > \- Wespac Electrical Contractors Ltd. **Comment from Simply Home Decorating:** > It is always a pleasure working with you guys too! ## Selected projects - [Newfoundland Family Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/newfoundland-family-home-pj-vj~7675079) - Location: St. John's, NL - Photos: 52 - Description: When our clients approached us to renovate their 1950s Newfoundland home, their goal was to modernize while reflecting both their West Coast experience and East Coast roots.

With their children grown and starting families of their own, they chose to downsize their livable space and “upsize” in quality and luxury.

Each is outfitted with high-quality and custom furnishings in a light yet coastal palette of parchment, sea gray, and moody blues.
